New Tech Lets You Fly Like A Drone

Drone tech has undoubtedly come a long way over the past decade or so, with advancements in technology improving both batteries and the electrical control systems that fly them. But have things gotten to the point we could put one one like a backpack and take to the skies? Australian Company Copterpack belives we have.

I Always Liked The Design Of The Hiller Flying Platform Which Seemed To Fly Well In The Videos. With Modern Day Engines & Materials, It Would Be Even Better.

Something very suss about that twin rotor pack; 60+ kg of thrust and no ground disturbance from down wash? I used to get more from my Phantom 3.

This is great for disabled people. They can get out in landscapes that was closed for them. This copter and an exo skeleton, it would be very interesting.

That would fit right into part 103 Ultralight regulations in the US. I'd own one if it was affordable.

[DownsouthMan]

I would like to know more about this one

[GahMehGrrrr]

Copterpack looks fake. No dust or grass movement. Hope it's legit.

I like the idea better than the current crop of jetpacks in development. It's incredibly cool seeing some fly without supporting his body weight on his arms or with a pack of propellant strapped to his chest.

Website now states "The recent tethered test of the prototype "

Inevitable.. human airways for the serious commuters.

[jamesmziegler]

I wouldn't mind flying on of those to work. It's only seven miles away.

It's fake... even those involved admitted it was just hanging from a rope -- but only after they were caught out :-)

[kevinm]

Yep strap on a backpack and a crane hook and aim the camera at the sun and there you go!

[dallasb]

Come on folks, I dream of something like this....That's REAL...Sorry but I fly Race drones and Camera systems and this sure looks fake to me....XJet channel did a complete breakdown of Why this 99% probably faked....Sorry for All of us who Love

[WillieStubbs]

Search and rescue... saving people from jumping or hanging on the side of a cliff.

[achimlichtenhagen]

Yeah, I can clearly see the future here.
A squad of copterpacked human drones, selling watermellons and fake Rolex at the beach faster than ever :-D :-D

[sysmith]

Copterpack, looks like a fake, or a con, or both. The whole concept by this start up company looks dubious. Particularly, this very questionable "CGI" inspired video. See Xjet vid for detailed analysis.

[mutleyeng]

Totally looks fake to me. Aside from the issues with what we see, the complete lack of any information is highly suspicious. I would expect to be able to find information that a wealthy investor could put his money in.

[NoName-bgom]

Looks interesting and I'm sure it could be very useful. But somehow I think people would just use these to hover outside building windows and watch women undress in their apartments like perverts.
